Ever hear of the Trevira Twosome 10 Mile Couples Run? It was a world famous event back in the late 1970s through the 1990s. Contested in Central Park it drew many of the day’s elite runners, world record holders, etc. Proving once again that I haven’t really invented anything new under the sun, I pitched this borrowed idea to our road race management committee back in 2009. It took a while but here we are!
The Two Rivers Twosome 10K Couples Run will be held on Saturday February 9th at Two Rivers State Park, 27535 F Street, Waterloo, NE . Omaha’s first Adults Only event (must be 21 years old to enter) will be held on a USA Track & Field Certified course that is very flat and very fast. But it will be the fun that sets this event apart from your regular 10K or novelty run. Couples will be scored across several divisions including Spouse/Significant Other, Family/Friend, Ready to Mingle (where we randomly assign you to another desperately seeking speed), and Bachelor or Bachelorette.
Nebraska Run Guru Events, LLC is a progressive management company, everyone welcome! A portion of all proceeds will be donated to Team Nebraska.
Couples can enter in several categories:
1) Combined lowest time (must register as a twosome, finishing times added together).
2) “Mini-pede” where each couple must be tethered and run/finish together. Tethering will be up to each individual couple, no more than 2 feet of separation allowed.
3) “Centipede” where tethering is extended to 3 or more runners- use your imagination, be creative, be festive!
To help you keep warm we’ll have prizes from Victoria’s Secret, adult beverages from one of our favorite local breweries, fire pits, and as much fun as the law allows!
More information including online registration up in the next couple of days.
Thanks to everyone that came out and braved the single digits for yesterday’s 3rd annual Hair of the Dog Run. A very nice donation for the Food Bank of the Heartland. Good people doing good things in our community, you are appreciated. And as a bonus we got to make some new friends too!
This dedicated bunch brought in almost 200 pounds of non perishable food items for the Food Bank of the Heartland. Cold hands, Warm Hearts.
Icy blue skies, snowy roads, and New Years Day. Hard to beat!
Fellowship and smiles all around! These young ladies were energetic, enthusiastic, and happy to be there!
